Hamilton: "I wasn't having a good day"

Lewis Hamilton may have started from the first position on the grid at the Australian Grand Prix, however he saw the checkered flag third, losing his place to Button and Vettel. In his statements after the match, the Brit emphasized that he was not having a good day, while he could not interpret why he lost his rhythm.

“I really don't know why I had that pace. It all started with my bad start. It was a tough fight, however I have to say congratulations to Jenson, who put up an amazing fight. It would be great if we did 1-2, but I wasn't having a good day", were the words of the British pilot, who completed.

"I will regroup, there are too many matches. Consistency is important in this league and that's why I intend to be consistent", added Hamilton.

Hamilton: Red Bull will be faster…

The Briton, who set the fastest time of the day yesterday in free practice at the final race of the year in Interlagos, Brazil, remains cautious about the rest of the weekend.
Hamilton won the previous race in Abu Dhabi and is in good shape, which was evident from his pace yesterday: "The car was very good. In the second round with the soft rubber I went well and the set-up changes were successful. Plus my pace with a fuel load was competitive. But you also want to know what Red Bull are doing, you always have the feeling that they are faster by a second. You hope they have less fuel of course but I think they will be faster at race pace. Of course, it can be a surprise that our car looks competitive with or without a fuel load. If it doesn't rain I think I will be able to claim the victory. But the Red Bulls will be very fast while the Ferraris also look competitive. Since it will rain eventually I don't know what to expect, I'm just trying to set up my car to suit the mixed conditions we'll face on Sunday" concluded the 26-year-old Briton.
 On the same wavelength and Alonso who had an engine failure yesterday. The Spaniard believes he will start 5th and in the race he will be able to claim a podium. But if it rains, he emphasizes that all possibilities are open.
For his part, Button has not found the right set-up on a track that is not comfortable as it has been seen in the past.
